And Reagan took credit for it. The hostage situation, not Mrs. Jailyardguy's pregnancy.

I lived in DC then - it was very interesting (in a sick, demoralizing kind of way) to see the political maneuvering that occurred around this issue.

I left DC soon afterward - some things you just KNOW you're not cut out for!
